The Strategy of Divine Impact

Daily writing prompt
What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?

I woke up with the words “divine impact” on my mind. You can experience ongoing divine impact and inner transformation in your life “if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel.” (Colossians 1:23)

Hearing someone teach about God’s thunder and lightning is religion. Without inward transformation it’s merely more Bible information that is easily and quickly forgotten. However, personally hearing God thunder in your heart and feeling His lightning striking in your soul is divine impact.

To sit through outward religion without life changing inner transformation is to be in a dangerous situation. Faith without the divine impact of God, actively working in and through you, is dead.

Bible information
Without transformation
Is empty religion.
Another Bible fact
Without letting God act
Deep down in your soul
Won’t bring divine impact.
Is your life too jam-packed
To have constant contact
With the risen Jesus?
Avoid everything that distracts
You from divine impact.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
